Ethernet Infrastructure Features Chapter 3

A security policy can call for limiting access of factory floor personnel, such as a

vendor or contractor, to certain areas of the production floor, such as a functional

area. Segmenting these areas into distinct VLANs greatly assists in the application

of these types of security considerations.

All level 0…2 devices that need to communicate multicast I/O between each

other must be in the same LAN. The smaller the VLAN, the easier it is to manage

and maintain real-time communication. Real-time communication is harder to

maintain as the number of switches, devices, and the amount of network traffic

increase in a LAN.

Typically control networks are segmented from business networks. You can also

segment networks based on function, logical layout, and traffic types. Choose

from the following options to segment control.

Table 7 - Segment Control Options

Segmentation Option Description

Physical isolation • Physically isolate networks

• Each network is a separate subnet creating clusters of control

• No IT involvement

ControlLogix® gateway • A separate ControlLogix EtherNet/IP bridge module is dedicated to each subnet

• The chassis backplane provides isolation of Ethernet traffic

• Only CIP traffic can be shared between subnets

• No IT involvement

VLANs • Ports on a managed switch are assigned to a specific VLAN

• Data is forwarded to ports within only the same VLAN

• Can require IT involvement
